Joey Gouly from Leeds in the UK solved the Rubik’s Cube blindfolded in two minutes and 27 seconds, setting a new British record.

The fast-fingered 17-year-old said he found it so easy to finish the cube with his eyes open, he decided to set himself a new challenge. “A lot of people do it one-handed, but I’m better blindfolded,” he said.

Joey’s got his first Rubik’s Cube when he was 16, and reckons his daily practice sessions mean that without a blindfold he can crack it in just 15 seconds! “Once I’d solved it, I just kept setting myself new times and getting faster and faster,” he said. [via BBC.co.uk]
